SUBJECT: Fwd: Second Announcement of GMT2010 workshop in Korea
GMT2010: Opening New Frontiers with the Giant Magellan Telescope
(Oct. 4-6, 2010, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea)
Second ANNOUNCEMENT
September 1, 2010
Dear colleagues,
This is the 2nd announcement of the GMT2010 workshop "GMT2010: Opening New Frontiers with the Giant Magellan Telescope" at Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea during October 4-6, 2010. We extended the registration deadline to September 7, 2010, and updated the program list with the presentations to be given by invited speakers. We expect to release a further update of the program which will include a list of contributed talks and posters on September 10. The registration form and the details of the meeting can be found at http://astro.snu.ac.kr/gmt2010 . The attendance will be limited to 150, but the workshop will be open to astronomers in both the GMT partner institutions and the non-GMT partner institutions. If you have questions, please contact us at gmt2010@astro.snu.ac.kr .
In recent years, the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) project has been making strides toward its successful construction. Several new partners joined the project including Korea, where the involvement to the GMT project is anticipated to bring a quantum jump in the development of Korean astronomy. Another recent important milestone is the selection of six first-generation instrument concepts. It is about time to prepare strong science cases for these instruments. The goal of this workshop is to review the current status of the GMT project and to discuss sciences, instruments, and some of the technical challenges for the GMT. The program will be made of invited talks, contributed talks, and posters.
Sincerely yours,
Myung Gyoon Lee, SOC Chair & Myungshin Im, LOC Chair
on behalf of the GMT2010 SOC/LOC
